I've installed the printer drivers and set the printer's network address. Printing works fine, but when I try to add the scanner using the Dell Network Scan Manager, the software can't detect the 1600n even when I feed it the ip address. Pinging the address works fine.
I had the same problem. Called Dell tech support several times. Neither the level one nor the senior level technician can figure it out. Read a message on this borad concerning possible block-off by Windows Firewall. Turned Firewall off and the scan manage found the printer immediately.
Now the printer has no problem initiating scanning to the PC.
I too am having this problem. We setup everything and printing / faxing / copying, etc is working just fine. We even can scan to the first 2 computers but none after that. I have my firewall turned off on the machine that can't find the scanner. I tried typing in the IP address and it still doesn't work.
I had this problem and nothing worked until I changed my computer's IPv4 address from the automatically DHCP-assigned xxx.xxx.xxx.126 to a manually assigned xxx.xxx.xxx.199, where my Dell printer was xxx.xxx.xxx.202.
